these people are shredding the constitution, laura, like alan said. it's untethered, pure political expression of power. it is going to have lasting consequences for this country. they do not want them to have due process. that's our human right under the constitution. if you question something, you have the right to adjudicate that. they are trying to deter future presidents from exercising those constitutional rights. an exchange that for what, for adam schiff getting people up's phone records? that's what we are doing in this country. this process is really a stain on the democrats. >> laura: alan, one more thing i have to get to. when this and this, everyone watching that this is over, impeachment is done, we'll move on to substance or policy. we have congresswomen today making the case that this is just the beginning of impeachment. watch what karen bathe said. >> would you be inclined to take a second bite at the apple and reintroduce the exact same impeachment articles and then send it through again? >> you know, yes. there is still a number of

so he's not impartial, alan. so he has to recuse himself now. >> i was involved in the clinton impeachment, of course, and the clinton impeachment exactly the same thing happened. the leaders of the senate, the democratic leads in the senate worked closely with the white house. i know, i saw it. i was there. and so come if you would have invented a new way of impeachment, it would be great is if it was nonpartisan. if all of the people in the house were to listen to the evidence objectively and all of the people in the senate would listen, but for the democrats after conducting extraordinarily partisan impeachment and suddenly virtuous and the trial itself has to be any involvement cometh mcconnell has to recuse himself, so would adam schiff have to recuse himself and jerry nadler, all of the peopled for impeachment on day one. >> laura: we need her in there for comedy sake. >> you can't have recusal on one side without recuse on the other. this is tearing the country apart and we have to find some way to bring u

well, alan dershowitz has declined to comment to us. i reached out to him a few hours ago to ask him about this story, but what we do know from these reports is dershowitz is considered to join the legal team. now, alan dershowitz, of course, is a former harvard law professor. he's an, you know, well-known defense attorney, but he's also someone who's controversial. he's been accused of sexual abuse by a woman in connection with the jeffrey epstein situation. claims that alan dershowitz has, of course, himself, denied. but he is also somebody who has been an ardent defender of the president and as it relates to all the legal matters he has faced. he spoke out publicly when the president was under investigation by special counsel robert mueller and that certainly has earned him praise from the president and some of his advisers. in fact, earlier today dershowitz was actually at the white house for a hanukkah party where he praised the president for an executive order that he signed earlier today on anti-semitism. >> jeremy, sources signa

alan. tell us little bit about yourself. what your background with impeachment. guest: my background with impeachment starts with the impeachment of chairman of the judiciary committee who hired me to do that. while i was doing that one another one came up of walter nixon. so i did those two and then there was a gap of quite a few years and then i did two more. kent,porteous and judge there have been eight judges and in fact all the convictions of impeachments involve eight judges and have had the honor of handling three of the eight. couldn't do the first one because i think it was in 1803. a little before my time. and i've been very interested in impeachment ever since then. and: tell us about yourself what's your involvement with impeachment. guest: i worked a house judiciary committee for peter wrote dino after watergate. during watergate he created the position committee staff is the first person to have a committee parliamentarian who knew the rules cold and so i had that job and they keptred me on and in 1994 there was a landslide, a seismic shift in ameri

claims that alan dershowitz has denied. and he's been an ardent defender of the president relating to all the legal matters he's faced. in fact, earlier today, dershowitz was at the white house for a hanukkah can party where he praised the president for an executive order he signed earlier today on anti-semitism. >>> sources signaling the whus could be open to a shorter trial in the senate. >> essentially this is the president and the senate -- the president colliding with realts. the reality that senate republicans,ing by and large, do not want that long, tex tended show trial that president trump was hoping to get out of the senate. for some time the president has been signaling he would like to use the senate trial as an opportunity, essentially, to exact political points out of his opponents. bringing forward hunter biden, the whistleblower. and using this trial in the senate as an opportunity to turn the tables on democrats and ignore the alligations he's facing and instead focuses on conspiracy theories and other issu

come on, alan. >> yes, you can. in fact, i do that every day when i represent people, and i'm not the president. what i say to prosecutors is, i'm not giving you one bit of evidence. i'm not cooperating. i'm not allowing my person to come in. the burden is on you. you have to prove your case. and i don't obstruct justice by doing that. the president is entitled as head of the executive branch -- >> your clients take the fifth. there is a separation of powers between coordinated branches of government. it's an entirely different scenario. >> i know, and it's much more powerful because the separation of powers is in the body of the constitution itself. >> right. >> not in the amending process. and the separation of powers crucially allows the head of the executive branch to challenge every legislative action and leave it to the courts to decide. alexander hamilton in federalist 78 said that the courts are the umpires between the two branches. >> but -- >> and that's what president trump -- >> but other than having the

just nation she's in new york the 1st let's cross over to alan baron he's in washington d.c. and he is a former special impeachment counsel to the house of representatives thank you very much for staying with us as we watch the final minutes of what's happening in the house of representatives before we get that vote and again mr barron you know as once we have the votes and the democrats votes on those 2 articles of impeachment and it goes to the senate but before before that what happens procedurally to go from the house of representatives to the senate well a resolution is passed by the house of representatives authorizing the managers and also part of that process will be selecting who the managers will be or maybe half of the house and the number can vary in the judicial impeachments i handle we had approximately 4 or 5 managers but i suspect that for a presidential impeachment trial be many more maybe 1012 there's no set number but i'm sure more would want to be a part of but in any event even if it doesn't prevail will be an historic moment. and then once the you litera

[applause] thank you, alan. in every generation, jewish american patriots have strengthened, sustained, uplifted, and inspired our nation. in a moment, the shalva band will conclude this event with a song that we know very well. before they do, i want to tell the famous story behind it. in 1918, a young jewish american soldier stationed at camp upton, in new york, wrote a prayer in he form of a song. his name was irving berlin -- maybe the greatest of them all. and he held that song close to his heart for more than 20 years. he did not release the song until 1938, as the world learned of hitler's evil atrocities against the jewish people. on november 10th of that year, his song broadcast through the radio and into the homes all across the country. millions and millions of people were inspired. it was the first time americans heard irving berlin's timeless hymn, "god bless america."
